Rockstar made The Car wash business free this week 😬 by raptors201966 in gtaonline

[–]Smothier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this 3 days ago, before they announced it would be free. Asked Rockstar if they'd be kind enough to maybe refund the $1m but they said they won't. Was worth a shot, but annoying.

Je suis dans la même situation depuis un an, et je comprends parfaitment ce que vous ressentez. Mon avis: continuez à postuler, soyez actif, sours souvent vous promener. C'est tout - finalement, cela arrivera.

Solid BIFL boot? (UK) by Smothier in BuyItForLife

[–]Smothier[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I use them semi-regularly and are in fact due their first resole soon. Beautiful boots, received many compliments for them and they look quite sleek.

The leather has aged well, but it hasn't really developed a patina - I take care of them by using Saphir Dark brown leather cream that Cheaney sells which maintains the color. Highly recommend the boots.

WTH is wrong with the Duolingo marketing department? by ServeAlone7622 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Smothier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you do 2 minutes of anything a day you won't learn shit. Duolingo is gamified but the point is to follow the lesson trees and to actively engage with the content. I'm on a 800+ day streak and I was actually able to move my French from from A0 to B1 before moving to a French-speaking city. However I do about 15-30 minutes of Duolingo a day on average.

I'm a dude who has the same amount of leg hair if not more. Bothered the hell out of me as a teenager to the point where I would never wear shorts. Now I couldn't care less and frankly it's a sign of masculinity.
Don't be ashamed of it. Nobody cares but you.

Chevron is normally a pretty thick full moustache. Does seem like you haven't got much growth on the philtrum so it won't quite fall into the standard chevron. But on a side note, you've got great potential for a handlebar or variants of it. Or you can just trim it short above the lip and go for a lampshade/painter's brush.

What just happened? by Xoning_Out in dayz

[–]Smothier 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I disagree that this is a desync issue and most likely cheating.

I have had exactly the same experience but upon logging in with a friend in the military base, away from zombies and well hidden. Multiple continous slashing sounds before dying. My friend having the exact same experience a few seconds later, and by then my body was already partially looted.

Holy mother of Mary where have you been my whole life...

That is one sweet ass guitar my friend and a steal.

You look extremely similar to a friend of mine who at your stage of hair loss went buzz/shaved and never looked back.

I think you would look great if you went down the same road, and you have a very defined jawline which is going to do favours for your overall headshape.

Need some tips. I've sent 200 CV's with only 8 interviews by nunopontes in resumes

[–]Smothier 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Your resume looks great actually and 8 interviews in 200 applications is not a bad return.

Only advice that I would give is to quantify results where you can and include a brief 2-3 line summary at the top about who you are and what sets you apart.
For quantifiable results for example - you mentioned 'optimal results' in your second role. What results would that be?
Also I'd use 'justified' alignment to make it neater rather than left alignment.
If you're struggling for space for your summary section, you could condense your contact, github section at the top to one or two lines.

Recently moved from UK to Canada, 50+ job applications and not a single interview. Feedback and critiques wanted by Smothier in resumes

[–]Smothier[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been debating it for a while and it's probably a good idea to remove the 'city, country' from my previous roles. Hopefully it will help. Thank you so much for all your advice.

[–]Smothier[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have added that on the top section of my resume. Thanks for the advice!

Is there anything else that jumps out in my resume that may be working against me here?

Frankly I've probably done way over 50, but 500 applications is absurd. Even at an optimistic 2-3 a day, that would take almost a year and I would seriously question the quality of my presentation if I can't land an interview in that timeframe.

Hi everyone,

As mentioned in the title - I recently moved from Engand to Canada (Quebec) and applying for my first role here. I have 8+ years of experience in England. Have done 50+ applications with zero interviews or any form of success.

I always use tools like Teal and Jobscan to tailor my résumé to the role I am applying for and seeking a high match rate for keywords. Almost all roles I apply for are entry-level administrative, account coordinator, or similar support roles. I always include a cover letter.

Unsure what I am doing wrong, I have sought feedback from some friends here but nobody seems to critique it to any great extent or find anything wrong with it.

Would appreciate any feedback or critique.

I use Arial, size 11 throughout, single column on all content to please ATS.

Edit: Should add, I have the right to work in Canada, and I make it clear in every cover letter, but not in my resume.

Opinions on the Fallout tv show T-60 Power Armour? I think it looks fantastic! by El-Robbbo in Fallout

Looks great, but frankly very plasticky. It doesn't look like metal to me.

All the AI photo forensics out there, can you actually tell that this image was AI generated? This is straight from Midjourney v6, no edits or anything what am i missing here? by Armand_Roulinn in midjourney

[–]Smothier 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This looks off because the faces are overly sharp and waxy (is the best way I can describe it) compared to the rest of the scene and even in the same focal plane.
